Bilal Abood was questioned repeatedly before and after allegedly traveling to Syria in 2013

A Texas man was charged on Thursday with lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation during a probe into his alleged travel to Syria, U.S. officials said.

Court papers show Bilal Abood, 37 years old, of Mesquite, Texas, was arrested Thursday after a two-year game of cat and mouse with federal agents, who questioned him repeatedly before and after he allegedly traveled to Syria in 2013. It wasn’t immediately clear if Mr. Abood had a lawyer.
